Medea Carla Fracci 2006 Eau de Parfum
4
Nonsense with Vanilla Sauce
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I think my olfactory taste is changing again, and not subtly at all. While I used to at least like girly, extremely sweet gourmands, even the most synthetic and clumsy ones, I could now regularly freak out over fragrances like Medea or the Fool For Love I tested yesterday and have to suppress the goosebumps and nausea. Just sweetness, sugar, and calories without any finesse just doesn't work for me anymore. These rubber duck fragrances are still preferable to truly awful stinkers, but they now leave me feeling battered and with a similarly poor rating.
Enough preamble. What makes Medea so overly sweet and at times annoying to the point of being inedible?
--> Medea smells to me like sugared, mashed raspberries. Then caramel, coconut, melon, lychee, and the like are added, and it's just too much. Just smelling it could almost give you acne - no thought was given to a bitter, smoky, or down-to-earth counterpart. I actually only expect such a scent from Ed Hardy or something similar, and it certainly doesn't make me hungry for more perfumes from this brand!
Bottle: it's so much prettier than the scent!
Sillage: fortunately not too strong, which is an advantage here.
Longevity: not a standout performance - 5 hours.
It's so sticky, it could have easily fit in with House of Sillage... I certainly don't want to get caught up in this floral-sugar-jelly!
Generous rating!
